Privacy
PhotoEffect is built so that privacy is not a policy — it is the architecture.
Your photos never leave your device
When you "upload" a photo here, it is opened directly by your own browser. All effect processing happens locally on your device using the browser's canvas technology. No image data is ever transmitted to, or stored on, any server.
No accounts, no tracking
There is no signup, no login and no analytics script watching what you edit. The site does not set cookies. A small service worker caches the app's own files on your device so it loads fast and works offline — that cache contains the app, never your photos.
Exports
Exported images are generated in your browser and saved directly to your device. We never see them.
